Finish 2006 Durango to Silverton - Why we live and race in Colorado!

Colorado Velo started in 1986 with just a few 35+ Vets. The following year we obtained primary sponsorship from The Denver Spoke and went on to become one of the largest clubs in Colorado with over 100 members during the early 90's. In 1991 and 1992 we fielded one of the best junior teams in the country.

From that time and with The Spoke's support along with additional sponsorship we've been able to remain competitive on the ACA and USAC racing scenes.

In 2008, we returned to our roots as a master's team, only this time instead of 35+,we are primarily 55 and beyond with a couple of "youngsters" (just about anyone younger than most of us) to keep us riding hard.That year was the inaugural running of the Frostbite Time Trial for Colorado Velo. Additionally, we won third for Best All Around Team and scored well in many Colorado races.

For 2009, with the addition of a few road races in Colorado we amassed enough points to win Best All Around Team. Many of our members placed high in a lot of races in 2009.

And for 2010 our master's team has increased to 14 racing members including a couple of guys under 55 and a few hangers-on like me who seem to keep coming back year after year. We've maintained our relationship with The Denver Spoke who has come through the economic downturn a little leaner, but continues to be the premier bicycle shop in Colorado. The good but always windy weather at this year's edition of The Frost Bite Time Trial has come and gone, and now we are looking forward to another successful season. See you at the races!

Following are several slide shows, starting with three years of the Frost Bite Time Trial and concluding with some random pictures of 2006 - 2009 racing.
